DesignStation Ponce City Market and Citywide DesignStations

DesignStations have been part of Atlanta Design Festival for several years, giving visitors opportunities to explore design through exhibitions, activations, and events hosted across the city. For 2025, the program grows larger, with more DesignStations than ever before.

DesignStation Ponce City Market

The main hub returns to Ponce City Market with a strong lineup of projects curated by Beau Allen Collins of Construct Gallery. Visitors will see:

• Sculptural dining tables by Logan Wayne White
• Furniture by Robby Simon of play.room
• Handmade speakers by Andre White in collaboration with a Grammy-winning producer
• A bamboo prototype from Prospectiva Architects
• Metal seating and wall works by Tyler Rene Angelo
• A modular light box by Lisa Li

Additional presentations come from GA Tech Industrial Design, KSU Architecture’s ALT/ATL program, Jensin Okunishi Studio, textile designer Margo Lyman, and Gynella Ngounou of Sew With Self.

River of Rebirth

The exhibition River of Rebirth, first shown at Z33 in Hasselt, Belgium, will also be on view. Curated by Tim Roerig, the show features artists such as Roni Horn, Laure Prouvost, Cecilia Vicuña, and Lennart Lahuis. Works draw on myths and traditions about water, examining its cultural role as a source of continuity and renewal.

One Festival, Many Stations

With more DesignStations than ever before, the 2025 edition highlights Atlanta’s diverse and growing design community. From the central hub at Ponce City Market to partner-led satellites across the city, the festival offers many ways to experience design, learn, and connect.
